"Floating point and signed integer values in F# can have associated units of measure, which are typically used to indicate length, volume, mass, and so on. By using quantities with units, you enable the compiler to verify that arithmetic relationships have the correct units, which helps prevent programming errors."

+"The UDUNITS-2 package provides support for units of physical quantities. Its three main components are: 1) a C library for units of physical quantities; 2) a utility; for obtaining the definition of a unit and for converting numeric values between compatible units; and 3) an extensive database of units."
